At the end of March of the fourth year of Yande, Guo Peng received 38 beautiful women sent by Cao Xiu from the Western Regions Protectorate.

When he learned about this, Guo was confused, and then he saw Cao Xiu's submission, and Guo was amused and crying.

This guy was worried that he had women but his subordinates had no women, which would damage the morale of the army and cause mutiny, so he decided to send these beauties to Luoyang to present to Guo Peng, and asked Guo Peng to accept it with a smile.

Then, Guo Peng asked Guo Peng to send their families to reunite with them in view of the difficulties of the Western Regions' life, so as to reduce the suffering in the foreign land.

I have to say that Cao Xiu was doing this very smartly. He knew that using this move to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent the soldiers from resentment. Otherwise, he would be the only one who spends money on the road and the other soldiers would have to cry in vain, and there would definitely be problems.

Mr. Guo would not have resentment towards the countries in the Western Regions just because of a few women.

Mr. Guo doesn't care much about women.

He has seen too many beauties, and with his identity, it is easy to get any woman.

The so-called charming eyes of flowers, over the years, he even unfortunately suffered from facial blindness and had lost the ability to distinguish women's beauty and ugliness.

It is no exaggeration to say that even his own concubines don’t know whether it looks good or not.

Mr. Guo is an excellent and competent emperor. He devotes himself to state affairs and does not like beauties at all. He is pure and has few desires, so these women are actually useless to him.

But since the subordinates are determined, as leaders, they must accept it and cannot let down their subordinates' good intentions.

If you don’t accept it or make any trouble at this time, it will cause your subordinates to have different concerns, which is not conducive to stability.

The emperor is actually very difficult.

So although Mr. Guo refused in his heart, he had to accept these 38 foreign beauties to help Cao Xiu solve his worries and assume the responsibility of an emperor.

It is an obligation for the ministers to share the worries of the emperor, and it is sometimes a kind of care for the ministers to share the worries of the emperor.

Of course, these beauties with different styles and interests also look unique.

Mr. Guo waved his hand and asked Su Yuan to send someone to take them to the inner court for a check-up, then silently pointed out the three most beautiful people, asking Su Yuan to take special care of them.

Su Yuan understood the truth, so he brought these thirty-eight foreign beauties into the palace and prepared to teach them something to let them know what it means after entering the Great Wei court and what it needs to be done to survive better.

Most of them will become palace maids, live in the palace, or be rewarded by Mr. Guo to meritorious ministers when needed to win over the hearts of the people.

As for the three beauties that Mr. Guo specifically pointed out, they need to be further trained and studied, and confirmed that there is no problem at all, and then they will be sent to Mr. Guo.

It takes special skills to select suitable people for the emperor to take care of the emperor's daily life. Su Yuan and others were born as eunuchs in the previous dynasty. They still remember some of the small rules and tricks in the harem of the previous dynasty, and they are also very adept at commanding some professional and senior palace maids to do things.

These women have good talents, fair skin, charming eyebrows and eyes, elegant figure, and good at singing and dancing, but their overall quality needs to be improved.

It is time for them to understand the profoundness of Chinese civilization.

I believe they will learn real things soon, so as to graduate successfully, become outstanding graduates of the Great Wei court, and then find employment smoothly.

Bring boundless happiness to Mr. Guo.

As the emperor of the Great Wei Empire, he is equivalent to the president and chairman of the Guowei Group. There are not many [secretaries] around him who can see them well.

This is definitely not the sudden slut of Mr. Guo. Seeing these Central Asian women with different styles than those of the Central Plains women, they were moved and wanted to try different flavors.

This is to give his subordinates a face and to care for his subordinates.

Therefore, the court records should pay attention to the wording and sentences. The cause and result of this matter should be recorded according to the [real situation], and it should be approved by Guo.

The shamelessness of Guo, who has reached the extreme of double standards, can be seen.

Of course, if you get the benefits, you naturally have to solve some troubles for your ministers. That is not what a qualified emperor should do. The emperor has both in and out, and uses resources to control his ministers reasonably.

Cao Xiu made this request, and of course he had to make some considerations, because this was not a trivial matter.

The families of three thousand soldiers are at least the same as three thousand. It is already difficult to provide some daily necessities for three thousand people. It is probably a problem to come to three thousand more.

So Guo found Dong Zhao and Zao Zhi and asked Dong Zhao and Zao Zhi to discuss with him how to solve the problem raised by Cao Xiu.

Dong Zhao thinks this is a rather troublesome thing.

"More than 3,000 people are not too large, but it is difficult to send these more than 3,000 people to the Western Regions far away from Liangzhou and to ensure their lives. Your Majesty, we have already taken a lot of pressure to provide the supplies for the troops in the Western Regions. If there are too many, I am afraid that we will not be able to meet the strength."

Zao Zhi counted the number of families and people garrisoned in the Western Regions and also gave a less supportive attitude.

"Your Majesty, the troops stationed in various places will eventually have a rotation day. We will be patient for the time being. It is not a big problem. Once something happens, there is room for reversal and we will not look back."

Zao Zhi considers the situation after the Guo and Wei Empire withdraws from the Western Regions from a very realistic perspective.

The former Han Dynasty had three connections and three trivialities in the Western Regions, and each time it caused huge losses. Zao Zhi had no problem starting from this point, but he obviously did not understand Guo's possessiveness in the Western Regions.

Since I'm here, I'm not going to leave.

"There is a time difference between the rotation of the garrison troops in the five cities in the Western Regions. According to the distance between the garrison troops in the five cities in the Western Regions, there will be at least three years to rotate. If you don't see your family for three years, what will it be? Think about it and put yourself in your shoes."

Mr. Guo looked at Zao Zhi and Dong Zhao.

The two were speechless.

Indeed, this is a problem.

The Wei army's rotation system is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but measures to distinguish different situations.

In principle, the time for the garrison troops to be stationed is not counted as the time required for the army to go to the local area, but rather the time for arriving at the local area.

Then, in terms of specific details, the time schedule for rotation of garrisons in different places is different.

The closer it is to Luoyang and the more convenient the transportation, the faster the garrison rotation speed, basically lasting for one year.

The further the distance, the less convenient the transportation, the lower the rotation frequency, one and a half years, one and eight months, two years, two years, three months, etc., are not unified, but the maximum is no more than three years.

According to the distance between the Western Regions, it does not count the time to travel to the local area, the rotation time must be once every three years. This group of soldiers in the garrison will take at least three years to return to the mainland to reunite with their families.

During these three years, they had to open up their living space in the Western Regions where they were unfamiliar with their lives, and strive to adapt to local life. Without anyone to accompany them, they were full of anger and didn't know where to extricate themselves.

This will definitely go wrong.

Although the existence of a camp prostitute has to be absent and Mr. Guo will maintain a certain scale, fundamentally solving this problem requires increasing the treatment of soldiers and working hard to help soldiers build families.

This can solve the problem and increase the fertility rate and increase the population. It is much better than camp prostitutes.

So Guo denied the way Zao Zhi and Dong Zhao looked at the problem from an economic level.

"Three thousand soldiers stationed in the Western Regions is very important for our Silk Trade Road. Their existence will bring great help to the business and travelers of the Wei Kingdom. I don't want to say much about how much commercial tax revenue will the Silk Trade Road drive in the future. What do you think?"

Mr. Guo looked at Zao Zhi and Dong Zhao.

Zao Zhi and Dong Zhao looked at each other.

"Then, why not allocate some camp prostitutes, or let the countries in the Western Regions put some effort into arranging some women. At worst, we can pay them some money and it will be solved."

Zao Zhi gave new suggestions.

Guo Peng still shook his head.

"Whether it is dispatching camp prostitutes or asking countries in the Western Regions to provide them, more doctors must be sent to prevent possible evil sores. This is very dangerous. Several evil sores occurred in the army a few years ago. Don't you remember it?"

Zao Zhi lowered his head and stopped talking.

A few years ago, when the Duchy of Wei was not established, due to insufficient sanitary measures in the army, several major battalions successively experienced a disease of flowers and willow disease, and about 600 soldiers were ill.

What's even more hateful is that at that time, there was a military leader who was worried that he would be punished, so he tried to cover up his condition.

If a military judge had not learned about this and reported it directly through the obstacles, it would have probably killed all the sick soldiers.

After learning the news, Hua Tuo led the military medical team to take an urgent action, saving most people's lives, but more than 150 soldiers died due to delays.

In addition, more than 100 soldiers were unable to completely heal because they did not receive timely treatment. They suffered physical injuries to varying degrees and had to leave the army.

It caused a lot of shock at that time.

After investigation, it was determined that the officials in the military were negligent in this regard, did not conduct hygiene inspections, did not handle hygiene problems, failed to report them in time, and even tried to cover them up, so that such a thing happened.

A scandal caused Guo Peng to lose nearly 300 carefully trained elite soldiers, which made him extremely angry.

In a furious manner, Guo Peng held 23 responsible officials in the army accountable and executed them, and executed three officers who worked with these health officials to cover up their illness.

Later, the treatment of their family members was abolished, and their families were exiled to the frontier together, and they were not allowed to return to their original homeland.

Then, Guo Peng strengthened the military's health inspection regulations and realized the problem with the camp prostitutes.

From then on, Guo Peng really began to promote the marriage and start a family on a large scale of the single soldiers in the army, instead of thinking that having a camp prostitute could solve any problem.

Guo Peng's plan is to gradually increase the marriage rate of soldiers in the army, gradually reduce the number of camp prostitutes, and establish a more standardized and scientific policy on the treatment of soldiers, so as to truly solve the existence of camp prostitutes.

This kind of problem exists truly and objectively, and cannot be regarded as not seen.

Everyone is a strong man, not Buddhist. Although the military discipline of the Wei army is rigorous, it is not as strong as the human ethics.

The problem must be faced directly and cannot be avoided. Even if you pay more money for it, it will cause internal conflicts, which is much more terrible than the decline in the combat effectiveness of the army.

Over the years, Guo Peng has vigorously promoted the plan for single soldiers in the army to get married and form a family. Every year, special funds are allocated to allow the military leaders and local governments to help deal with it.

If the parents are still alive, the local government will ask them to help discuss marriage at their registered residence, and the army will provide certain marriage subsidies to support and protect their marriage.

If parents die and have no relatives, the government will arrange healthy orphans of appropriate age to pair up with them, form families, and then distribute land and houses, and give them marriage subsidies, and arrange them to settle down nearby and become local.

The army gives soldiers a certain holiday every year to go home to visit relatives. They take turns to reunite with their wives and have children.

The family is considered a military family. In addition to the military's condolences, local governments also need to give preferential treatment in terms of welfare and taxation, which is different from ordinary military households.

Military families have children, and local officials should celebrate it and give additional grain, oil, rice and flour to express their blessings.

Guo Peng invested a lot of money in this regard, and the orphans who were rescued through war and disaster relief also obtained at least a pretty good place for them.

In this era, it would be great to be able to live, have a home, and have a meal.

Living together is much better than facing one person, let alone being an orphan. Who can expect anything else?

The Guo-Wei regime was the first regime to save war refugees on a large scale, especially the rescue of orphans.

There are many orphans in the refugee group, and their living environment and conditions are far worse than those of other refugees.

Therefore, Guo Peng specially formulated a rescue plan for orphans. In addition to arranging some skillful in incorporating them into the military nursing camp to help the army deal with the wounded, he also paired them with single soldiers and private bachelors in the army.

As time goes by, the single rate in the army has decreased year by year, basically reaching the point where every soldier has a family. Then he takes turns to visit relatives on holidays, and also takes turns to give his family the opportunity to visit relatives near the military camp to solve the soldiers' own problems.

At this point, the personal problems of Wei soldiers were basically solved.
